For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the chicken mixture. To prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy, lightly fry them in oil before layering. Feel free to substitute the chicken with shredded pork or beef for a different flavor profile. This dish can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving. Store the assembled enchiladas in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
02
StepHeat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla; press and swirl in skillet until softened, 2 to 3 seconds per side, then transfer to a plate. Add 1 dry tortilla on top softened tortilla. Press and swirl another tortilla in oil to soften; stack on dry tortilla. Add 1 dry tortilla on top softened tortilla. Repeat process until all tortillas used.
03
StepAdd chicken and onion to the same skillet; cook and stir until chicken is ⅔ done, about 10 minutes, adding more oil if needed. Add green chiles; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center and onions are tender, 5 to 10 minutes more.
04
StepAdd 1 layer tortillas to a 9x13-inch baking dish to cover bottom; top with some chicken mixture, some enchilada sauce, some Monterey Jack cheese, and some mozzarella cheese. Repeat layering until all ingredients are used, ending with sauce and cheese.
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until cheese is golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool until set, 5 to 10 minutes.
